ALABAMA'S FIRST RADIO STATIONS
1920 - 1960
A HISTORY OF RADIO BROADCASTING IN ALABAMA
By Harry D. Butler

Names, places and events in the beginning of radio broadcasting in Alabama. This is the first-of-its-kind written history compiled by a veteran of six decades in "the trade." Thousands have been "on the air" since those first days in the early 1920s; this is the story of only a few who blazed the way for all those who have followed.

You'll learn about college football games being banned from broadcast; about AT&T charging $4 per watt; about swapping air time with a station across the nation; who did what, when and where. It's a thrilling tale of how it all began for Alabama's first Radio Stations.
